Can you tell me which type of shoes are good for table tennis?

Hi Hindal,

Take a look at the lesson on The Right Table Tennis Shoes.  It will give you a few ideas.

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!

Hi Hindal

Here's a great in-depth article on table tennis shoes by Alex Polyakov, author of "Breaking 2000": http://www.breaking2000.com/table-tennis-shoes/

The author also makes recommendations based on the fact that many of us do not play on official table tennis floors, such as Gerflor or Teraflex. 

For the record, I just bought a pair of Asics Gel-Rocket 7 volleyball (yes, volleyball!) shoes to play table tennis. 

Good luck!
